Assign Work Item

API Type

Web Services

Description

Assigns a human task (manual work item) to a user, which often means claiming a task for oneself.

Good to Know

• This is often used with task pools where tasks are created, and then multiple users are notified, but the task is not immediately assigned to a user. A user then claims the task, or his manager assigns it to him.
• The user must have access rights to claim or assign the task.

Syntax

public virtual WFEvent AssignWorkItem(string workItemID)

Parameters

Output

WFEvent class that represents the workflow event instance that is created when the task is assigned.

Example

IWFWorkflowService svc = GetWorkflowService();
string workItemID = …// work item ID

try
    {
    WFEvent evt = svc.AssignWorkItem(workItemID);
    }

catch( Exception ex)
    {
    Console.WriteLine("Failed! " + ShUtil.GetSoapMessage(ex));
    }

Supported Versions

3.2.0.4 and higher
